Abstract

We have produced metal clusters with a molecular beam apparatus based on a Pulsed Arc Cluster Ion Source. The source has been optimized in order to generate intense and stable cluster beams of various elements, with a mass distribution ranging from the monomer up to several thousands of atoms. The source operation conditions can be varied in order to control the mass distribution, intensity and velocity of the aggregates. Preliminary results on the synthesis of granular thin films with this technique are also presented.
